We get so caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey… Don’t forget that this is your road and yours alone #london

A timeless study of batteries being recharged, away from the crowd, a cigarette, possibly a gin, definitely a moment of calm. Yet this was 115 years ago. I've enhanced this gorgeous Edwardian autochrome of an anonymous woman, taken by Alfred Stieglitz in 1907. It's not colourised

[Mik Critchlow @mikcritchlow]

As a 22-year-old art student in 1977, I borrowed a camera from college & started taking pictures of my local area.
These images are from the first two rolls I developed.
My lecturer told me I was doing social documentary - I had no idea those two words would change my life.🙏

On news of @mikcritchlow passing I want to share what to me is one of the greatest photographic portraits of all time.

'My Father on Redundancy Day' 1988'. Some context ...

"Although humans see reality in colour, for me, black and white has always been connected to the image's deeper truth, to its most hidden meaning."

Fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh was born #OnThisDay in 1944.

"Fall in love. Every day. With everything. With life. If you can fall in love, you can be a photographer. I think that is absolutely essential."

What I like about photography: when you’re working in the field; wake up all down, full of angst, and wonder why you even came… And then you miraculously go to bed buzzing with the things you saw, the people you encountered, and the the situations the camera brought you to.
